When we heard about the Women Tech Council’s event, which hosts three New York Times Bestselling authors and renowned marketers, we jumped at the chance to be part of it. Chris Brogan, Julien Smith and Mitch Joel — some of the most respected leaders in social media marketing — will focus on building trust and relationships online.

And in the end, building strong relationships is what social media is all about. It’s what effective marketing is all about. If you are in business at all, you won’t want to miss it. Plus, you’ll be able to see us there, which is always cool.
